Effectiveness of GeoGebra in Teaching Grade 10 Mathematics

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of using GeoGebra in teaching Grade 10 Mathematics. The study involved 66 Grade 10 students. A total of 34 students were in the control group and 32 students in the experimental group. The researcher utilized quasi-experimental design (for the control group and the experimental group). The research used pre-test and post-test approach. The control group was taught using the conventional way while the experimental group was taught using GeoGebra software. The results showed significant difference between the control and the experimental group (t=-4.05, p = 0.0001). The gain score of the respondents showed significant difference (t = -8.28, p<0.0001). The findings of this study would prove teachers the opportunity to use GeoGebra software in their teaching mathematics that will enhance student’s performance in mathematics.
